The Doppio Passo Primitivo is a rich and full-bodied red wine from the Puglia region, Italy's sun-drenched south. Made from the indigenous Primitivo grape, this wine offers an authentic Italian taste experience and is beloved for its depth and smoothness.
Vineyard and Vinification
The vineyards for this wine are located in the fertile region of Puglia, where the warm Mediterranean climate and chalky soils contribute to grapes of exceptional quality. The unique name "Doppio Passo" refers to the special harvesting method: the grapes are picked in two phases. The first harvest imparts freshness and structure, while the second harvest produces concentrated sugars and intense aromas. After fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, adding to its complexity.
Tasting notes
The Doppio Passo Primitivo has a deep ruby red color with purple hues. The nose offers inviting aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and berries, complemented by hints of spice, vanilla, and a touch of chocolate. The palate is full and rounded, with soft tannins, a lovely acidity, and a long, velvety finish.
Serving Temperature and Gastronomic Combinations
This wine is best served at a temperature of 16-18°C. The Doppio Passo Primitivo pairs beautifully with grilled or braised meats, rich pasta dishes, and aged cheeses. It's also a perfect match for game dishes and spicy stews.
